simple-statistics/simple-statistics: simple statistics for node & browser javascript

10 hours ago

Simple Statistics

A JavaScript implementation of descriptive, regression, and inference statistics.

Implemented in literate JavaScript with no dependencies, designed to work in all modern browsers as well as in node.js.

Installation

  • **I'm using Node.js, Webpack, Browserify, Rollup, or another module bundler,
and install packages from npm.** - First, install the simple-statistics module, using npm install simple-statistics, then include the code with require or import: - I use the require function to use modules in my project. (most likely) - When you use require, you have the freedom to assign the module to any variable name you want, but you need to specify the module's name exactly: in this case, 'simple-statistics'. The require method returns an object with all of the module's methods attached to it.
var ss = require('simple-statistics')
- I use import to use modules in my project. I'm probably using Babel, @std/esm, Webpack, or Rollup. - Import all functions under the ss object:
import * as ss from 'simple-statistics'
Include a specific named export:
import {min} from 'simple-statistics'
Simple statistics has _only_ named exports for ES6.
  • I'm using Deno.
- We recommend using Deno's first-class NPM compatibility to use simple-statistics from NPM: you'll need to import it as npm:simple-statistics.
  • **I'm not using a module bundler. I'm writing a web page, and want to include
simple-statistics using a script tag.** - I want to support all browsers - When you use simple-statistics from a script tag, you don't get to choose the variable name it is assigned to: simple-statistics will always become available globally as the variable ss. You can reassign this variable to another name if you want to, but doing so is optional.
<script src='https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/simple-statistics.min.js'>
      </script>

- I want to use ES6 modules in a browser and I'm willing to only support new browsers to do it - This module works great with the ?module query parameter of unpkg. If you specify type='module' in your script tag, you'll be able to import simple-statistics directly - through index.js and with true ES6 import syntax and behavior.

<script type='module'>
      import {min} from "https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/index.js?module"
      console.log(min([1, 2, 3]))
      </script>

This feature is still experimental in unpkg and very bleeding-edge.
